Subject[PATCH] <linux/kernel.h>: drop the gcc-3.3 'const' hack in roundup()
Date
From: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@infradead.org>

The single quotation marks around "const" were causing a
documentation markup warning with reST. Instead of fixing that
warning, just delete that comment line and the gcc-3.3 hack of
using "const" in the roundup() macro since gcc-3.3 is no longer
supported for kernel builds.

I did around 20 different $arch builds with no problems, but
we'll just have to see if this causes problems for anyone else
out there.
